Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Assessed contribution for the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures
A1-019163-01-01
In collaboration with National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) worldwide, including NRC, the BIPM fulfills its mandate of providing the basis for a single, coherent system of measurements throughout the world, traceable to the International System of Units (SI). This mandate is carried out through a series of consultative committees whose members are the national metrology laboratories of the Member States, and through the BIPM’s own laboratory work, which includes carrying out measurement-related research and calibrations in selected areas for some Member States, depending on the technical sophistication of their NMIs.

Risk and cost mitigation through determination of tidal turbine loading under real turbulent tidal flow conditions
983134
The objective of this project is to model and test hydrokinetic turbines to determine local and time-variant turbine blade loads. This model will be applied to determine blade loading and turbine interaction to real-life cases, proving its usefulness as an engineering design tool. Ultimately, this validated numerical method will be used to study the load behaviour on turbine blades as a function of various parameters (type of tidal flow, turbine design, turbine arrangement in an array, etc.) to extract a body of knowledge useful for engineers. The knowledge of spatio-temporal load variations is the starting point of material fatigue studies which will narrow down the estimated lifetime of turbine blades while in operation. Such
knowledge will have a great impact on risk assessment and overall system operation cost.

Optimal quantum control of solid-state quantum emitters in single-layer transition-metal dichalcogenides
986056
Solid-state quantum emitters (QEs), which have potential applications in quantum cryptography and distributed quantum networks, have very recently been discovered in direct band gap semiconductors formed from excitons in single-layer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) localized by strain. This project brings together world-renowned experts from NRC in the fabrication of site-selected solid-state QEs and the Dalhousie Ultrafast Quantum Control Group who has developed internationally-unique optimal quantum control strategies for such emitters with the goal to advance the promising new system of TMD QEs for applications in quantum technology.
